My domperidone is here!

And now I'm scared to start it! Ladies who have taken it did you titrate yourself up on the dosing? Since its a GI med I'm scared I might have unpleasant side effects if I start at a high dose.

    I just started. I take 30 (3 pills) 3 times a day. It has really made a difference and allows me to ebf.

    I'm hopeful for this to help! I'm just scared of GI issues until my body gets used to It. Should I stay close to home in case of emergency?

    I didn't experience anything like that.

    I started with 30 mg 3x a day and ended up on 40 mg 3x a day. I didn't have any problems at all.

    No. Domperidone is a motility agent helping to prevent indigestion. From what I understand, it's Upper GI only, not a laxative. You may feel more hungry more frequently, but I never noticed that. If I did find myself more hungry, I probably would have chalked that up to making more milk and thus expending more calories with that.
